METHOD OF RADIO COVERAGE EXTENSION AND BASE STATION USING THE SAME

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to a method of radio coverage extension and a base station using the same method. According to one of the exemplary embodiments, the base station transmits system information in a radio frame through a broadcast channel and selects a payload structure of repetitive system information from a plurality of predefined payload structures that includes the first payload structure and a second payload structure. The size of first payload structure is greater than the size of second payload structure. The base station transmits within the same radio frame a plurality of the repetitive system information having the payload structure through the broadcast channel in response to transmitting the system information. If the first payload structure mode is selected, there are N1 repetitive system information. If the second payload structure is selected, there are N2 repetitive system information where N2 is smaller than or equal to N1.

1. A radio coverage extension method applicable to a base station, the method comprising:
transmitting a system information in a radio frame through a broadcast channel; selecting a payload structure of repetitive system information from a plurality of predefined payload structures comprising a first payload structure and a second payload structure, wherein
the first payload structure has a first payload size, the second payload structure has a second payload size, and the first payload size is greater than the second payload size; transmitting within the same radio frame a plurality of the repetitive system information having the payload structure through the broadcast channel in response to transmitting the system information, wherein
when the first payload structure has been selected, there are N1 number of the repetitive system information, when the second payload structure has been selected, there are N2 number of repetitive system information, and N2 is smaller than or equal to N1.
